I'm a landlord who has been using M&P for over ten years but I will never use them again. There head office tenancy management team are extremely disorganised and make endless mistakes and then just don't apologise for them or handle their errors in a professional manner. In my last tenancy with them, their first mistake was not taking the inventory make fee from the credit card as requested. During the tenancy, M&P collected the rent. On two occasions the rent was several weeks late, and no one from M&P's tenancy management team had noticed. I had to chase them up to chase the tenants which completely defeats the purpose of the rent collection service (which I was obviously paying for). When the tenants were moving out, I was told via email by M&P that they would take the check out fee from the last months rent. However, almost 8 months after the tenancy ended, I received an email from M&P stating that I have not paid for the check out and that I need to make payment immediately. I then had to dig out all the old landlord statements, and check against my bank statements to see if the payment had in fact not been deducted which wasted an hour of my time. There was no apology on that email or acknowledgement that the mistake was M&P's. Only when I raised this as a complaint did I get a one line apology saying it was an administrative error. When I asked a manager to look into it, it took a few days for them to come back to me and I received an email which said 'I'm sorry you felt the need to escalate this to me'. Anyone with any sense of how to work in a customer focused environment would know that is not an apology by any stretch of the imagination. Of course the email ended with a demand to make payment asap - we are talking about £144 here. A sum which is fraction of what I have paid to M&P over the years and one that I would of course pay if they could admit their errors and apologise for them in a proper manner. I really should have known better than to use them again. Back in 2012, almost a year after a tenancy ended they again came demanding payment for some fees that they had actually incorrectly calculated and not claimed from the tenant as well. The whole fiasco dragged on for months before they finally admitted their errors and cancelled the demand 'as a gesture of goodwill'. It's a shame because I think the agents in their North Kensington lettings office are very good, but I use an agent to help save me some time in managing my properties, not cause me to waste more time cleaning up after the mistakes of the back office team.
Their fees are the highest of local agents, but as they are upfront about this that's fine. However, if they can't deliver the service that they are being paid for, then that is not fine.

I have been a tenant in a property 'managed' by M&P Hammersmith since the 21st of August 2023. Since moving in, they have been short from being unhelpful and flippant. There are several issues with the property that have either been conditional to our offer, flagged on the inventory... Read Full Review

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. After numerous emails with the agency (Sara Fernandes), Marsh and parsons, they refused to give our deposit back or negotiate. They were claiming deductions that were not correct and all due to a misleading information between the agency and the landlord. I have emails, videos,... Read Full Review

Renting a property with Marsh & Parsons has been my worst experience I had with a lettings office. We were renting a 3 bedroom furnished flat in Fulham. Upon arrival, 1 of the 3 beds in the property was dismantled and thus, unusable. We made numerous complaints to the property manager... Read Full Review

Absolutely the most unprofessional, borderline criminal estate agents you will find in London. From lies to loosing original documentation, they manipulate facts, and evade any responsibility towards their mistakes. And if you try to complain, they will bully and harass, tenants and landlords... Read Full Review

Marsh and Parsons managed the house I rented for two years. They also acted for the landlord. The service they offer was abysmal and completely biased toward the landlord.

We had them rent our over the course of 2 yrs. Each tenancy was a nightmare. Not due the tenants but due to the inefficiency of M&P. Rents were to be all inclusive. They would never tell the tenants that and tenants kept changing bills and switching utility companies without my knowing.... Read Full Review

We have rented from then since March 2018, renting a reasonably pricey property. They are the most incompetent and also dishonest agency I have come across in 14 years renting in London. Very pushy ahead of us signing the lease, very unresponsive since then. They have not been able to get simple... Read Full Review

Northcote Road branch found good tenants. However, I would not recommend the management service for non-resident landlords. 5 property managers in 3 years. Due to not meeting the required standard of service, the tenants contacted us, the landlords, directly, and it required us to intervene,... Read Full Review

From the moment you pay they will leave you absolutely alone. If you need any help with your flat you will find out that they do not manage the property and you should contact a landlord who if you are lucky will help you. But if your landlord will be Ehsan Esfahani you will have to fix your... Read Full Review

Aside from keeping my deposit over 4 months, the communication was exceptionally poor and there were substantial amounts of hidden fees that I was asked to agree to over email without seeing any breakdowns.

The agent consistently asked for agreement on fees without presenting the total amounts. The fees were much higher than market average or was expected.
